Good Day. St. Louis.

The Alma-St. Louis bill came up
in the house Tuesday and elicted
some lively speeches and debates.
The legislators were not to be so
easily fooled as they were when this
bill first came up, and had evidently
been looking up its merits as many
came out squarely for it in ringing
speeches. Representative Wood en-
deavored to prove that Arcadia and
Pine River were enemies, politically
and socially; that Arcadia was jealous
of Pine River, etc, etc, answering
every speech and fighting every inch
of the ground, and finally begged,
entreated, threatened and made char
ges, but all to no purpose. When
the votes were taken there were sc
yeas; 27 nays; 20 absent. The bill
being lost by just ! vote. The Lam
sing correspondent tells in a few
words how quickly the matter was
disposed of Wednesday when it came
up again. "The bill to set off the Vii
lage of Alma from Pine River and
place it entirely in the Township OF
Arcadia, Gratiot Co, was taken from
the table in the House to-day anG
passed by the handsome vote Of yea,
81, nays IS. Not word was said
on either side, Mr.. Wood realizing
it was impossible for him to MAKE
any show of merit in the opposition
and being satisfied from his efforts O
yesterday that it was not safe to res
his case entirely on personal appeals
The bill will be taken up in Senate
without delay, in order that tn,
Supervisor of Arcadia may make the
proper addition to his assessment roll

TIME TO CEASE "NAGGING."

The Los Angeles Herald remarks in an
angry article in reply to the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, st is a wretched policy for
the press of one section of this State to an
tagonize another. Every Californian
ought TO take pride in standing by the
claims Of all portions of this Incompatible
commonwealth That is epigrammatic
wisdom. 1t has not been so long a time as
may be supposed, since our Los Angeles
contemporaries could have taken the text
to heart with excellent results. Even in
the same article from which we quote the
sententious bit of truth, the Herald says:
" For long time past there has been a de-
cided undercurrent of ill-will on the part
OF the newspapers of many of the northern
and central counties against those co,m-
ties which compose the section known as
Southern California, and particularly
against Los Angeles county, which repre-
sents in very CONSPICUOUS form the growth
which is taking place in all of them"
For the twentieth time we enter in be-
half of the central and northern press an
emphatic denial Of the charge A diligent
reading of all the reputable papers of the
two sections has not disclosed to us any
evidence whatever of ill-will entertained
toward the south. The truth is our south
ern friends imagine terrors and conjure up
enemies causelessly. They are sadly,
grievously mistaken in their Complaint,
and the very best thing they can do is to
cease projecting it before the public. The
little quarrel with the Chronicle does not
justify the assault upon the central and
northern press, which is not disturbed,
envious or embarrassed at the magnificent
advance strides made by the south. Once
for all, let our Los Angeles friends drop
the back-alley style of journalism, of which
the periodical preferment of the above
complaint testifes.

and punish criminality, laziness and petty
criminals, must be very low, and of an
order that would cause most men to red
den with shame. The police authorities
of Indiana are sorry lot if they cannot
break up the rufiianism very soon. That
it has reigned supreme for three months is
demoralizing the whole section, encourages
lawlessness in the State, and invites mis-
guided men in other parts to unite in
like conspiracies. The popularity of the
White Cap organization is that it assumes
to be doing great good. and contends that
it is intoxicating respect for the moral code
and cultivating the fear of evil-doing.
They fail wholly to see that their proceed
ing is in violation of natural law, and that
if carried out, in logical sequence would
justify any class of men by terrorism in
enforcing conformity to their religious,
political and social beliefs upon commune
ties they could COW by the weaponry and
methods of the midnight assassin.

NEVADA.

The fourteenth of the RECORD UNIoN's
series Of papers expository Of the resources
of Central and Northern California is pre-
scented this morning, being the first of the
articles on Nevada county. A second is
to follow from the same pen. Nevada
county is possessed of great natural ad-
vantages which have not heretofore been
adequately set forth. There is before that
upland section future of great prosperity.
With its magnificent water system, its
grape, pear and other fruit lands land for
some fruits its lands are unequaled), its
quartz and other mines, its unsurpassed
timber, the salubrity of the atmosphere
and remarkable healthfulness, it has claims
that are now being recognized for their full
worth, and that promise for it in the i'm
mediate future rapid development and
great augmentation of wealth.
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1887-08-27

poverty and great wealth has not widened
and is not widening; on the contrary, the
proportion of increase in number of those
of moderate means, comfortable income,
and small wealth is vastly greater than
the increase in number of the immensely
wealthy The changes that have taken
place in this respect, and which are ire
futably established by statistical proofs and
by commonest observation, do not tend in
the slightest degree to fortify the position
of George, or to lay the cause of poverty
at the door of individual ownership of
land.
Ii being fact that the extremely
wealthy have not increased in proportion
with the general increase of wealth distri
button, but, on the contrary, the number of
such has actually lessened and thus the
rich in proportion to the poor have really
grown fewer, Mr.. Georges theory falls to
the ground. He has himself chosen Eng
land as best illustrative Of his doctrine,
but in that country the statistics show that
of nearly G1OO,000,000 rental there con-
siderably less than one-third is taken by
the aristocratic landlords; one-third is
taken by small owners, and over one-third
by the exceedingly small ones. Mr. Nal
lock has shown, indeed, that the total in
comes in England in 1851 was e614,000,-
900, while in 1881 the gross amount of
incomes under 9100 was over e620,000,000.
1t is further demonstrated that in the
thirty years the class with incomes be-
tween ESQ and $500 increased las per
cent; between $500 and $500, $50 per
cent, and between e600 and $1,000, II
per cent, while the class with incomes
above 81, 900 increased by but rs per cent,
and the class with incomes above 10000
was but 9S7 in number, all told
Similar statistics, which in England are
easily ascertainable, and here cannot be
gathered at all, prove that so far from land
rentals having made the very rich richer,
and the very poor poorer, the former class
has on the whole lessened in number and
income, while the latter have gained in
every respect. and its members steadily
risen into the middle or average condi-
toned class, which has vastly increased in
number and remarkably in individual
wealth. We have already shown that the
charity statistics conclusively prove that
poverty has actually decreased, even in
cities, as population has augmented, and
that this is true alike in the United States
and in England, Such facts being estab-
lished, deprive the theory of Mr.. George
of its only foundation.

A Los ANGELES Journal cautions Sacra-
mento to be very careful that in forcing
Chinatown out of its present quarters she
does not drive ii TO another section of the
city where its presence will be more intol-
cradle still This is an important question
certainly, and one that must not be over
looked. We believe it possible, on re-
moval, to enforce sanitary and other police
regulations to prevent over-crowding by
the Chinese, and to require abandonment
of such habits about their dwellings as
make their quarters a nuisance. 1t is a
sad state which community reaches when
it confesses its inability to enforce cleanli-
ness and observance of ordinary sanitary
regulations on the part of the Chinese 1t
has been the one unanswerable reproach
the East has visited upon California cities,
that they do not compel the Chinese to
conform to the same laws of decencv that
are enforced upon other residents They
do not understand at the East how ex-
ceedingly difficult it is to do so, and how
much Eastern sentimentalism and sympa-
thy for the Chinese have stood in our way
in the matter Now that the character of
these aliens is becoming better understood
upon the other side, and now that the East
is awakening TO the fact that Californians
are not rowdies, and do not keep their
Chinatowns as they are as curiosities" to
show visitors, we may hope to achieve an
approach to success in compelling the Chi
nese in their quarters to be ordinarily
cleanly.

BECAUSE the English public, out of
sheer curiosity and desire to be amused,
PUSHES pell-mell to see Buffalo Bills Wild
West show, the Saturday Rerie,o prophesies
the breaking up and decadence of the
British Kingdom. 1t reaches this dismal
conclusion because 81 this same Worship of
successful Snowman is in close analogy
to the later and more rotten days of the
Roman Empire, when the gladiators we're
the favored ones and pets of the Roman
ladies" But, then, the Hon. Cody, raking
in English soyereigns, is not at all compar-
able to Roman gladiator, nor his painted
Indians, "whooping it up" for so many
shillings per diem, parallels to the cham
pions of the Roman amphitheater. Nor
are stout British squires, cockneys, bellies,
bar maids and English matrons of the
timber that entered into the construction
of the pampered Roman ladies; nor is
their craze to see Cody, and enjoy a sensa-
ton over the antics of his Indians, at all
In the nature of hero worship If the
Rerie~ will look deeper into the activities
of English society, it will find closer anal
ogies between Roman decadence and the
British present than the absurd COMPARE
son quoted. But when it has discovered
these more striking parallels, it cannot
logically draw the conclusion that John
Bull is on his last legs because the Roman
citizen went to grass under social condi-
lions resembling those from which the
modern Briton draws his strength.

or richer agricultural area than Yolo.

since the cessation of hydraulic mining.
At Derbec, one mile above North Bloom
field, is the celebrated Derbec mine, which
has yielded many huge fortunes and is
still as rich as ever. AT Nevada City tun-
mel is being driven under the bank of the
old Manzanita mine for the purpose of
opening a drift mine. This will, when
started, give an impetus to all industries
in the region roundabout and be the
means of sustaining many families.
